Canadian PM decides to remain in self-imposed isolation for another 14 days

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has informed that he would remain in self-imposed isolation even though his wife, who had contracted the coronavirus, has recovered. Although Sophie Gregoire Trudeau received the all-clear from her physicians on Saturday.

 

Since doctors did not know exactly when Sophie Trudeau became virus-free, the Prime Minister said he would observe another 14 full days of



confinement. Trudeau has been in self-isolation since his wife tested positive for the coronavirus on March 12 following a trip to London.

 

Trudeau also announced new financial measures to help vulnerable Canadians, particularly children and the aged. As of Sunday, 6,243 Canadians had tested positive for the coronavirus, and 64 have died.
